FYI
I would like to let you know about international
health teams through International
Service Learning planned for this December and January to Central
and South America, the Caribbean, and Africa.
Teams starting Dec 26, Jan 2, and Jan 10.
Last year we utilized
over 1,200 pre-health

teams. To view a printable flier with more information on these health

looking for students to be representatives on campus as a way of earning a free
trip. We can also set up a trip for your school or organization. If you are
